      You'll need to get a new router or try some 3rd party FW.

      Yes I've been asking them to keep me updated.  They said there aware of the issue and are working on it. Hopefully that's true. I'll have to ask if they have a beta version. Thanks for the information and I'll keep you posted.

      See if v2.1.3.6 is available for the RBR or RBK40. If it is, try upgrading FW. Reset then setup from scratch and test.

       

      If not, you should contact NG support and ask for help and information on this.
